Jaguar and Land Rover Fuel Tanks

The fuel tank does one thing for your Jaguar or Land Rover vehicle, but it's an important duty. It's responsible for holding the gasoline that your car or SUV needs in order to run.

The fuel is stored in your fuel tank until the engine needs it for combustion. A fuel pump pulls the gas out of the tank and routes it through fuel lines to the fuel rail. Then the engine computer unit (ECU) directs it to the fuel injectors located in the engine cylinders, where the fuel combines with oxygen to feed combustion.

Typically, fuel tanks are made of either a plastic high density polyethylene (HDPE) or a metal such as steel or aluminum. The advantage of a plastic fuel tank is that they can be formed into many different shapes, allowing for unique placement that offers greater safety and use of space. Metal fuel tanks are effective at limiting emissions, which helps us all.
